I prefer the 180 grain core lokts as far as off the shelf of the local Wally World ammo goes. I can usually find them cheap and plentiful there. They hammer the shoulders of white tails at the distances we shoot here in Tennessee.
My handloads are 150 grain Accubonds with 46 grains Varget and are very accurate and work very well on whitetails.I love accbonds on everything over 2800 fps. Tikka's are very accurate rifles and I also think 150 gr fusions would work great in a 308
Been reloading for 51 years and tried Varget as soon as it was released to reloaders and have found that it works great in any caiber that uses the 308 case and I have them all. 2- 7mm-08's and one of them is a Browning auto which seems amazingly accurate for an autoMy handloads are 150 grain Accubonds with 46 grains Varget and are very accurate and work very well on whitetails.
Unfortunately NY is probably going non-lead on state lands soon and I do a bunch of public hunting so I’ve been playing around with 130 grain ttsx
Second this. No reason the spend $2.50-$3 a round for top shelf stuff if your rifle likes fusions. Confidence in what works in the rifle is important.Shoot some different flavors and pick what works best. Those Fusions are great if your rifle likes them.
